What about Dingane that lost woefully against the voortrekkers, not the British imperial army oh, common voortrekkers, what about king Jaja of opobo who was exiled, what about the native Americans who fought colonisation with all their blood but still lost, what about the obas the British changed like tissue, go and research you will see more. Magic does not work and will never work period. This one you are talking about colonisation don't digress from the issue at hand.

what about king Haile Selassie of Ethiopia?

SegFault:
I am talking about superstition you are talking about dimensions, of course different dimensions could exist but we are talking about magic here. If all these magical things existed where were they when the colonial masters came and enslaved us, with all the juju and co we could not bear people enslaving us in our own land.

It's not only Africa that was enslaved. Some western countries also came under colonial rule, United states and India inclusive. They most times come disguised as help giver which to some extent is true but always having a bigger concealed intention of making merchandise of the people. Unfortunately the gift and gratifications that comes with their visits to the kings of those land, who are themselves lacking in exposure pave way for the colonial masters. In-fact having friend-zoned the king and important rulers with gift and unimaginable promises, they simply sit back and watch how the king of those land fight vehemently to subdue deterrents and bring all their subject under the control of their new beneficial friend. That's the logic behind the colonial masters success, once the important people along their shore of voyage are bought over, the magicians or warriors can't do nothing than adhere to the instructions of the king, this establishes the concept of divide and rule which is their most effective weapon in taming aggressors and quelling any form of uprising.

is there anything God cannot do? Jesus replied those that condemned a prostitute when Zacchaeus I think was imagining how Jesus would have distance himself from her if he truly know who the lady was


I think as a pastor that you claimed to be, you should prophesized on the lady and not condemned her or post here to prove what's not


don't let all those quoting you get you carried away from the true salvation. with humility, love despite Jesus knowing people are full of inequities, he drawn them closer with love


stop Crucifixion, stop condemnation, stop criticism. preach love, draw people closer to God with love, command as a man of God that you claimed to be

What hate is there in that comment of his. So warning people of transient danger is applauded, but warning people against eternal damnation is preaching hate. I wish God will open your eyes to see the fate that awaits people presently living on earth & those leaving for eternity without Christ, you won't hesitate to preach a much harder message to turn the wicked from their ways than DL Moody and Jonathan Edward did.
God is both that of love and justice and his justice necessitate his Judgement. If You know God as God of love alone your knowledge of God is grossly inadequate and you have a long way to go in understanding his true nature. Read Below verses.

Romans 11:22
Behold therefore the goodness and severity of God: on them which fell, severity; but toward thee, goodness, if thou continue in his goodness: otherwise thou also shalt be cut off.

I cor 9:27
But I keep under my body, and bring it into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached to others, I myself should be a castaway.

Whipping up religious sentiment, instead of allowing the electorate determine his suitability for the Job using his past record of achievement. God doesn't need you to be a Pastor or belong to the highest echelon of any religious group to use you, Cyrus was an heathen King yet God use him to fulfill his purpose and even called him his anointed, Isaiah 45:1. God can use or elevate anyone to the position of authority to bring his counsel to pass and prosper a Nation if such is willing to do what's right. When you walk with hooligan, bribe your way through many huddles, foment trouble, cart away ballot boxes, rig election to your favor which is the norm with most of our politician seeking elective position. You now turn around and tell the world it was God who gave you the victory, I'd rather that people stop dragging God into this things when they know they are not ready to do the right thing or set out to do things differently.

How important or powerful is El-Rufai, sincerely not so relevant with even low public acceptance and image. If not for OBJ who made him the minister of FCT that confer some relevance on his political CV, I wonder what he'll be parading about. It was also the general displeasure with Mr Good-luck Jonathan then that gave APC a free ride to power for which El-rufai was a beneficiary. El-rufai know too well that his second term was rigged with unwholesome connivance or how can a man who choose to run a joint Muslim Muslim ticket ever expect to win in a free and fair where almost half of the population are Christians, religious sentiment aside the logic behind such decision is naive to say the least. Overestimation of ones self worth sure leads to tragic and unexpected downfall, God abhors a proud look!

* You disrespected your husband in such a way that the man has forgotten his surname.
* Do not have African marriage. Don not have American marriage. Have bible marriage.
* Honour your husband. He may be short as a bottle. You saw him like that before you married him.
* Do not marry a man you cannot respect.
* The greatest need of a man is not sex. He can get it from any idiot called prostitute.
* The greatest need of a man is not food. He can get it from any restaurant.
* One of the greatest need of a man is respect (public respect).
* Wake your husband up with love songs.
* Stop disgracing your husband in the presence of the children.
* Stop repeating the mistakes that your mother made.
* Come down from your pinnacle.
* If you treat your husband like a king, he will treat you like a queen.
* If your Christianity does not work at home, don't export it.
* Bring some sanity into your marriage.
* Once in a while, pause. drop everything.

Good points though, but line five is not part of believers register. A child of God is not at liberty to call anyone an idiot, I do hope she wasn't too emotional to allow such disparaging insertion. Prostitutes can still repent and be saved even though many of them have come to settle for such a a life and may not repent, but if they do shall be forgiven and delivered.

I lived in the Northern part of Nigeria sometime last year (Zaria)
Those folks do same
Leave their wares outside and no one touches em.



If I say it's a certain tribe that made the Northerners turn bad they'll come for me with their "Amaka" slogan

I don't think it's that kind of contentment emanating from docility. Every bird can fly high without hurting another, that's the definition of a real functional society, not honesty lived in a doldrums

There was a time Nigeria was like that, we were contended until we began to have leaders who prioritize wrong ideals and entrenched same in our national life. Who designated 419 as a game for smart people? who gave approval for medical doctors who work with Govt. to also undertake private practice where they only go to the hospital to recruit patient for their various hospital thereby destroying the health sector? who destroyed the public schools such that private schools becomes a norm. Who destroyed the public service, such that a man can work with FG for 15 years or so and is pensionable for life and can go take another appointment with state Govt, after a while he is pensionable again and can live large afterward, or how can someone who is no longer in active service receive almost twice the pay of the person who is in active service. How can the economy of a nation grow like that and we are surprise how poverty and unemployment rate keep skyrocketing, and crime rate winding upward at an alarming rate. The truth must be told, Nigeria problem is squarely that of cumulative leadership failure and until the leadership admits culpability and be ready to shove aside any toga of self justification and buck passing nothing meaningful will happen. Real changes must start from the top to the bottom, this will happen when we have leaders whose take home will be justifiable and commensurate with the economic standard of those they are leading. Expecting changes from the bottom up is like asking someone without a car key to drive a car. The leadership have the car key and once they move in the right direction the masses will automatically follow, provided the movement is done in good faith and sincerity.

The prognosis of a dishonest lifestyle and dysfunctional society is what we are now reaping or experiencing as a Nation. If you must enter peoples house go through the door don't use the window you will be labelled a thief even if your intentions are good. The nation bleed from the leader to the led as we pay lip service to honesty and transparency due to our quest for sudden riches which cannot be satiated. The market woman raises price without a cause, transporters raise fare arbitrarily when all conditions remains quite, the farmer envisage a dearth to compensate for his lab-our and justify a hike, the landlords are lords to themselves, revenue collectors and law enforcement agents are neck-dip in bribery and corruption, elected officers begins a push for a second term when the first is yet unjustifiable. Anything coming out of this disorderliness is what we now see playing out in our diaspora, since charity begins at home. We need truly sincere, honest and sacrificially leader to put the nation on the right path before this nation can work again. Hardwork and merit must be enshrine and compensated while vile and incompetence should be sacrificed forever on the altar of delineation, I hope we get such leader and society before Jesus comes.

Whether I agree with her religion or not is not the issue here, all I see is a loving mother praying for the success of her daughter

It's the spirit of antichrist working in the heart of many in this last days to dishonor anything that is associated with God and Christ. This attitude will be characteristic of people living in the last days before Christ return, so braze up and be on the Lords side. Shalom!

we can agree there is God or a creator. But the God in religious books is man made. The same Christ you dey mention was weeping on the cross. Allegedly resurrected, wasn't it logical to appear before his killers to show them who is boss But he allegedly went up to heaven. A god came to earth to get himself killed and went back up. If you had a good brain. You would know it makes zero sense. The world after he died has not improved and immorality is the way of life

You can work a million years in a soap factory and still get dirty if you don't use the soap. Close to a 1 million people have died from the scourge of corona-virus , even doctors and nurses yet we keep going to the hospital when we are sick because it's illogical to do otherwise. People like you crystallizes the works of Christ, the gospel is God's power of salvation to those who believe and it's made so simple and cheap for all to be able to access, you probably will appreciate it better if you have to break your bank account and borrow all your life savings upfront to make this purchase. Have you tried it and you were not forgiven? I have and millions of others have experienced this glorious transformation, try it and you'll see God eternal life at work in you and giving you grace to live a comprehensive life above sin with joy unspeakable. Jesus proved his resurrection by many infallible proof to more than 500 people at once, even the pharisees knew this, that's why they stationed the soldiers to guard his tomb, unfortunately after his resurrection they try to kill this testimony by bribing this officers but the news of his resurrection was all over the place already and cannot be subverted. Jesus live more than 30 years preaching the gospel of Gods coming kingdom publicly how do you call such persons a coward? He came as a Lamb to show the way, He will not be so generous with people who neglect this only way of salvation when he comes the second time to establish his kingdom on earth, as no king or potentate appreciate a rebel who refuse to be tamed or corrected.

ednut1:
as usual threats of hell and judgment. Heaven is all that sweet yet you won't want to go today. Keep deceiving una self

Not a threat, you can choose your actions but can't change the outcome. Fighting against God is like beating the air, you can't win even with 1 million devils on your side. The bible said a fool said in his heart there is no God, come to think of your child denying your existence it hurts isn't it? same thing atheist and all believers in false religion are doing to God by daily denying his existence and also his place in our heart. You are not more sophisticated or knowledgeable by going against God, great scientists we have world over who are professed believers in the one and true God. Use your God given talent for his glory while you live here on earth, it will cost you nothing to do so for that is the reason you were created, to show forth his glory and pleasure. As for death believer in Christ don't fear death, it is however preposterous to deliberately put yourself in harms way or tempt God and die needlessly to prove a point. Both heaven and earth is own by our God and we can choose to live as long as he permits us here and once our work is done we go to be him over there. And mind you after the seven years of great tribulation, believers are coming to rule with Christ on earth in his millennial reign for a Thousand years. Shouldn't you get prepare for this by fighting the good fight of faith, fighting on the side of Christ? Please do!
Shalom!

Sleekfingers:
She better study hard... And not depend on some yeye prayer..by a brainwashed mum......sometimes i just wonder whats wrong with some nigerians.....dem pray for everything. Even for a football match...shior

And don't you pray yourself? So how do you help your children to answer questions about the existence of God and life after death?

ednut1:
i have not prayed since 2006. My life has still been moving on fine. Prayer heals the sick corona and ebola came all the pastors who do miracle suddenly went to hide hahaha

You have not prayed since 2006, very incomplete statement. Do you mean to say you don't pray to the almighty God? It definitely means you are hobnobbing with smaller inconsequential gods who can as well not deliver you from any virus and worst still will not be able to deliver you from the judgement to come from the grater God you refuse to acknowledge in your life, even though he gave you the air and sunlight and water and ground upon which you now thread daily. This will be a witness against all who uses God's created material resources and yet belittle him in their heart!

Ignorance amplified daily by some on this forum. Prayer may not be a short cut to success but its pivotal role in our life should not be discarded. Prayer as can be seen is an enabler, it draws the power of the omnipotent into our lives to attain the stability required to navigate through life difficult terrains. People who won't pray are always first to line up on the herbalist doorstep, people who reject the potency of prayer from a righteous heart do have their names engraved in the occult world and their soul enslaved under it's norm. Serving God through prayers and serving the devil through needless sacrifices and rituals that subpoena the soul under torment and bondage both here and in eternity, which is better? Don't let anyone deceive you into relegating prayers to the background, same people who discourage others from praying worship idol secretly and other inconsequential gods they pray to. Without God you can do nothing, read as much as you can, if God does not give you the life and health to go write that exam you would have prepared in vain, God owns us from head to toe.
In conclusion, pray as if everything depends on God and read as if everything depend on you. That's the simple rule for having good success on earth!

We are implore by God to compel sinners to repent and turn from their evil ways, unfortunately many think people engaged vigorously in gospel preaching are jobless, If this young man was told to prepare for eternity last week he mostly likely will call such persons 'god of men,' not knowing that death is locking around the corner for him. God wants everybody to repent and make heaven, but you may ask, ''aren't they human who are going to hell''? unfortunately you don't want to fail an exam because there are others failing it. Who ever goes to hell the anguish will be same as if you are the only one there, no time for meaningful conversation, no change of dress, no life in hell. Let those who are now in hell be there as we can do nothing about them anymore as their fate is sealed, but for you alive today and reading this repent and don't add to the numbers. Shalom!

I cor 6:9
Or do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals.

God clearly warned us not to have any God beside him, but our stubborn and rebellion nature will always urge on in the path of destruction camouflaging as culture and tradition. When they eventually perish in hell they'll all be asking for an inconsequential time to come back to earth and repent, whereas now there are preachers among whose voice they'll disdain howsoever much he try to persuade them to give up idolatry and idol worshiping.

Rev 21:8
But the cowardly, the unbelieving, the vile, the murderers, the sexually immoral, those who practice magic arts, the idolaters and all liars--they will be consigned to the fiery lake of burning sulfur. This is the second death."

Anytime science undertake a travel back in time they almost always end up making a fool of themselves. Past events for which one is not an eye witness can only be learnt by written or recorded evidence(s) procured by eye witnesses to such times and event, this is further handed down and preserved through history by same medium, no scientific equipment can undertake a procedure by itself i.e sensing and divulging abstract information by itself . The second factor to obtaining accurate info on past event can only be through God himself who created all things from the beginning, this was the means by which Moses was able to learn and accurately pen down vital details on creation without making a single mistake, and till date none has been able to provide a convincing alternative to that narration. In a nutshell, No equipment can practically go back in time and none can navigate to the nearest future except in theory, this fact is evident to Albert Einstein himself.

My condolences to you:
Dear young man sorry for the loss. It's always pathetic to lose someone so dear in such a tragic and gruesome manner, such memory hardly fade away till death,nevertheless take heart and keeping moving with your heavy heart and tears. Oh! death, you sting so hard sometimes, leaving many hope dashed, joy cut short and family ruined, but alas you shall be swallow up in victory.
As for your expressed vituperation toward her employers this isn't entirely their fault. The environment is moribund and not conducive for business operations, many businesses are on the verge of collapse, that's why they sometimes have to push everywhere and everyone around to stay afloat.
Moral counsel and Lesson:
From the write-up it's evident they are already living together as husband and wife in complete disregard to God's word, sound scriptural principles & teachings, this is a sad truth but must be said. We must always provide a conducive environment for the father of the Spirit to thrive in our lives. May be or may be not, but let us play our part well so we can be on the safer side. Don't undermine God's instructions on holiness when life begins to treat you nicely, for God's foolishness is wiser than men.
Proverbs 3:5-6
Trust in the LORD with all your heart and lean not on your own understanding; in all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight.
Shalom!

If you have penchant for stealing and the tag stick, even the ones you are ignorant of will be drop-shipped on your door step.

Good effort but try and keep your environment clean. Don't act like most road mechanic do who brand their noble profession with dirty attires as if they are mutually inclusive.

what is predominant in our generation is lust not love, real love and commitment goes hand in hand. You can't love someone and deliberately hurt their feelings while still making it look like it's for their own good. This nonsense called side chic and other extramarital nomenclature will send all those involve to the pit of hell, it's a deviation from God's plan for the family.

I think the mantra is even a good one. With hoodlums taking over leadership positions in Lagos, from motor park to the palace. Isn't it visible to the blind that governance in Lagos is already a huge joke. A situation where a medical doctor will first of all have to bow before a tout(S) in authority, for granting of clearance to contest an elective position is nauseating. The dysfunctional system of administration being currently run in Lagos should not be allowed into any state if they truly desire progress for their people.

Swing attendees. With 1k each they'll switch allegiance with little effort, an endless circle that produces no soft result for the ignorant power holders who see their oppressors as benefactors.

For a country practicing correct democracy president endorsement means nothing, it is the peoples will that should prevail. Power belong to the people at all times except that we are practicing feudalism and not democracy.

So the President of a Nation must be involve in a governor campaign to grant it legitimacy. Is the authority to govern a set of people under a democratic setting not derived from the people they govern? The version of democracy we practice in this part of the world is clearly antithetical to common sense.

China brought this on themselves. When you think you are smarter than your employer only one option is waiting, your exit card!

One must have entirely jettison the thought of going to heaven to be at liberty to participate in some activity or do some certain thing in life. Unfortunately how short lived is our lives, the fame and enjoyment soon fade away, our quest to belong soon loose it's relevance.

Angels will be looking down on so many people and shake their head because of the destruction awaiting them, which they willingly procure to themselves having rejected man's only hope of salvation. This man who is nothing but a mere proceed of the will of the flesh, claiming to be Lord of lords and King of Kings and also laying claim to immortality, should not be taken seriously.

SmartProf:
Very sad...if you check properly, he is not even a COREN certified engineer nor registered with the Nigerian Society of Engineers (NSE). He may just be an apprentice who his whole street call Engineer just because he uses reflective jackets, helmet, and big safety boots. You can see that his so called engineering is to drill forcefully into young women. Crime has no tribal face, it's a character associated anomaly. If found guilty, I hope he is dealt with using the North Korean template.

I get your point. But this thing actually does not respect profession, age, status or ones personality. In fact many great men have been pulled down and bitten in its stride; discipline, self consciousness and most importantly the grace of God is what can keep anyone from being entangled in its web, especially in this generation of ours dubbed with objects that fascinate our immoral inclinations.

You only recite this line whenever it suits you, that's hypocrisy! You are a rigid APC apologist and that dwarfs all your struggle to project yourself as a nationalist.

So PDP are just telling us that Osho Baba has no primary school leaving certificate after almost 20 years of him being in our national cycle?

The worst opposition party the whole world ever witnessed!

Tueh......

You claim in your numerous post to be an apostle of a better Nigeria not minding whatever party that holds way, you also gave Edo people the right to elect whoever'll make their life better, but here you are clinging to the straw of a political party. So, what if Obaseki satisfies their quest? will you allow that to stick and Let the people decide who they want as their leader.
